There are four segments including: The Identification and Intake Process (focused on Section 003 of Rule 15), Preparing Staff for ELL Arrivals, Creating a Climate of Welcome, and Helping Families Navigate the School System. The segments can be watched all at once or separately and can be watched again at any time. They are intended for individuals and/or to be used for professional learning. This module is meant to be viewed by anyone interacting with English Learners, particularly when they first arrive at the district.
